When Antibiotics Fail:Ljrme Disease and Rife Machines, with Critical Evaluation of LeadingAltemative Therapiesby Bryan RosnerISBN 0-9763797-0-8Available from: http://www.lymehook.comLyme Innovations Press, 2074 Lake Tahoe Blvd., Suite 6 South Lake Tahoe, California 96150 USA; 530-545-0309

Lyme Disease and Rife Machines, by Bryan Rosner, is aunique book that demonstrates what self-educated altemativehealth experts can do, but the billion dollar medical industrycannot or will not, do. An erudite balance between electro-medical, mainstream and alternative approaches in dealingwith disease, the book is a profound piece of work that issure to educate many readers regardless of whether or notone is interested in Lyme Disease.

The media, conventional health industry, and governmentall in tow by big pharma, have successfully brainwashed manyof us into believing we are incapable of thinking for ourselves.This devastating, paternal approach has squelched creativityand self-empowerment among sick and healthy people alike.The profitable system to control/hide symptoms of disease,rather than restoring the body's ability to heal and eliminatedisease, has become the defining feature of modem,conventional medicine in the United States and Canada.

Bryan's book is a refreshing departure. His innovativemethods for dealing with Lyme Disease are solidly based onthe following statement from the book: "Actively participatein your healing journey - no one else will take responsibilityfor your treatment campaign except you...a patient must beempowered and proactive during treatment."

This book is a real validation of electro-medical treatment:Ljrme Disease is the ultimate test as it is one of the mostdifficult infections to eradicate. To date, this work providesthe clearest understanding regarding use of electromagnetictherapies for this specific application. And, the book'sinformation also applies to many other health conditionswhich Lyme Disease can stealthily mimic, such as ObsessiveCompulsive Disorder, Multiple Sclerosis, Arthritis,Depression, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, and more (a longlist is in Appendix A). Bryan's book, which separates the wheatfrom the chaff, also includes extensive personal reports fromdozens of Lyme Disease sufferers who have used Rifemachines. Included also are instructions for accessing anonline Lyme/Rife discussion group (membership is free) withover 1000 members.

Four primary Rife machines are discussed, along with adetailed explanation of the history of Rife therapy in thetreatment of Lyme Disease. The introduction to the bookincludes sections about how long the recovery process is,mainstream vs. altemative medicine, and the story of RoyalRaymond Rife. Supplemental graphs, charts and tablesthroughout the chapters drive home the book's concise theme.

More often than not, symptoms of disease are actuallysymptoms of nutrient deficiencies; hence, an enlighteningdiscussion is aptly included. Of particular note, among others,is the significantly important role of magnesium and itsassociation to disease. In this case, the Lyme Disease bacteria(unlike most bacteria which utilize iron in their lifecycle)requires magnesium to proliferate and thus causes adeficiency of it in the body.

In addition to the risk/reward analysis of Rife type devices(so one can come to their own conclusion), discussion isincluded focusing on practical applications of other therapies,such as hydrogen peroxide, homeopathy, colostrum, oxygen,ozone, hyperbaric oxygen chamber, and more. Also integratedis a thorough discussion of the important role andunderstanding of detoxification critical to any healing journey.

The following basically sums up the book (excerpt fromthe Preface): "I also heard people say that the placebo effect isresponsible for Rife machine success against Lyme Disease.But where was the placebo effect when I failed to get benefitfrom so many other "proven" medical therapies? Why did theplacebo effect show up and save the day all of a sudden, assoon as I tried Rife machines? After I started using Rifemachines, the term "placebo effect" blended into the rest ofthe useless medical jargon I had heard from countless "experts"These supposed experts were really good at talking but reallybad at offering any kind of solution. Rife machines offered mea workable solution. This book will give you the tools to cometo your own conclusion." ^
